Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has provided clarity on the gradual introduction of Bryan Mbeumo into the squad during their pre-season tour in the United States. Despite being part of the touring group\u2014a notable distinction from several players not involved\u2014Mbeumo is not expected to feature in the upcoming friendly matches, including the game against Bournemouth next week.<\/p>\n
“Bryan is starting slowly,” Amorim explained in an interview with MUTV. “He is not going to play in the next one. We hope to have Bryan in the last game [in the U.S.]. He\u2019s training now, so we\u2019ll see.”<\/p>\n
United’s American tour will conclude with a match against Everton at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday, August 3, which could mark Mbeumo\u2019s debut for the club. Following this, the Red Devils face another friendly against Fiorentina before commencing their Premier League campaign in a challenging fixture against Arsenal on August 17.<\/p>\n
Looking beyond these immediate fixtures, Amorim emphasised the ongoing competition for starting roles within the squad. Reflecting on Saturday\u2019s friendly, he stated, “It\u2019s a strong team and we need to prepare all the players, and we don’t have a lot of weeks or a lot of games to prepare all the team. That can change, you saw in the second half, there are players who can play in the first game. It\u2019s not a decision I made already.”<\/p>\n
This cautious approach underlines the manager\u2019s intent to carefully manage player readiness while maintaining healthy competition as the team aims to hit the ground running in the new season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
